However, it’s Bananarama superfan Jose Mourinho’s own reunion tour this spring that may be the most exciting of the bunch.

That’s as the Portuguese boss braces himself for returns to the scenes of all his most recent acrimonious departures in the Europa League knockouts.

Mourinho is now the boss of Turkish club Fenerbahce, and saw his side coast past Anderlecht and into the last-16 of the competition on Thursday night.

Next up is Rangers.

But, it’s if Mourinho’s side manage to get past the Scottish giants when the fun really begins.

First up could be a quarter-final against the Special One’s most recent club Roma – where he left under a cloud in January 2024.

The potential fixture list gets even tastier in the semi-finals with Fenerbahce having the chance to play Manchester United.

Mourinho won the Europa League with United in 2017 and finished second in the Premier League in 2017-18 – a position the club would dream of now – but was sacked just months later.

The Portuguese tactician was famously sacked by Spurs just before the 2021 Carabao Cup final.
